The Old and the New.

The year that is closing, like others
before it, has brought to different per-
sons very diverse fortunes-to one joy,
to another sorrow; to one peace and
comfort, to another trouble and anxiety.
The last page of another volume is
about to be written; the record is un-
alterable. Whether we review the
pages hereafter with pleasure or with
regret, there is no changing what the
volume contains. AS each year finds
us so much the older, so it ought to
find us so much richer in the eXpe-
rience which the past has brought
US and so much the better fitted to pro-
coed with confidence and hope on our
separate journeys. The times are not
so happy but that there is work for all
tC do; there is some reason even to
think that a mighty effort is needed on
the part of those who have it in their
power to work for the right, in order
to save society and the nation from i'm
pending perils.
In many respects the year has been a
sad one to multitudes of individuals and
communities. But hope is a stronger
power than regret. 1t is the force that
moves the world and keeps it alive,
and it is well to begin the new year
with hopeful hearts, whatever it may
have in store for us. A happy New
Year, then, to our many readers.
May they never be worse and always
grow better. May the next twelve

The Administration Plan.

1t is stated that the administration
bill which will be introduced in the
house next month, with the indorse-
ment of Speaker Carlisle, contemplates
reduction of 100000 in the
revenue-$50, 100000 from the reduc-
ton of duties, chiefly on manufactures
and Sl2,000,0 900 from adding wool, salt,
lumber, coal, etc, to the free list.
The friends of the president claim that
his views on the tariff question have
been falsely represented as favorable
to free-trade, and that he is nothing
worse than revenue reformer." 1t
is not contended by the opponents of
the presidents views that absolute free
trade is possible under any plan of re-
ducing the tariff, but that any system
of reduction which removes all the pro-
tective features of the tariff, or what is

Notes and Opinions.

THE free trade wolf is after the
farmers sheep.-DetrOu Free Press.
THE free-trade idea of lower cost of
living means lower wages, and nothing
else can be made out of it.
THE st. Paul Pioneer Press gives
some facts and figures showing that 20,-
TAI 900 acres of government land have
been acquired by alien land-holders.
"WHAT fun there would be along
after holidays if James G. Blaine was
in the lower house of congress. "-Inter-
Ocean. Not much fun for the dem
ocrats.
IT is an ancient idea, but not the
less good on that account, that persons
who owe bills and have the money to
pay for them should settle about this
time of the year.
IT is said there is a movement on foot
to nominate Frank Hurd for vice-presi-
dent with Cleveland as free-trade
leader of the West We sincerely hope
that it will succeed

New York legislature to inquire as to
the best method of inhicting capital
punishment has reported in favor of
killing by electricity.
SCRATCH a mugwump and you will
find free-trader. This is what the
Tribune persistently asserted in 1884
and every one now knows that it is
true.-NeU York Tribune.
THE tender feelings of the II. Y.
were hurt by the drift of things at the
convention of republican clubs in New
York. The republicans of the country
should be more considerate.
WHAT bosh to talk about the in
creased cost of the necessaries of life
robbing the workman of his hard-earned
wages, when in fact food and clothes
and the necessary things were never SO
cheap as to-day.-Horpord Couront.
THE New York Times, which has
been fighting the republican party
for years from ambush, has finally got
from under cover and gone, with its big
body and little soul, bag and baggage,
into the democratic party.-Ne,c York
Press.
IT is believed by many congressman
that Secretary Lamar will just about
manage to pull through when the SEN
ate comes to act on his confirmation
but that it will be rather tight squeeze
Some, however, assert that his defeat
is certain.

Look Up the Facts.

By the census of 1880 we find the num-
Der of farms in Vermont to be 1922 and
the value of the products for the year in
Guiding those consumed on the farm, to be
SD, 0S2,6j6 in round numbers. This gives
an average to each farm of S621. Taking
eight of the Western States to which east
ern emigration has tended for the last half
century, viz: Illinois, Indiana. Michigan,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas and
Nebraska, and we find by the census the
average for the whole number of farms
to be S6l7 in round numbers. The'five New
England States-Maine, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode
Island-average S53j. These are facts worth
looking up and placing before the people.
These facts show that farming in Vermont
pays BETTER than elsewhere and can be
made to pay fifty per cent, or even one hum
bred per cent more than it now does.
Why, then, should men, old or young, who
intend to, or now do, make farming livel-
hood think of leaving Vermont? Farms
can be bought with less money here than
they can he West; our market is nearer and
better; we are free from floods, tornadoes,
cyclones, sweeping fires and destructive
pests, to which the West is subject and must
ever be. If farmers will look the facts
square in their face, call home their wander
ing thoughts and 60 to work to increase the
producing capacity of their farms in the only
possible way-that is, by enterprise, economy
and induStry-farming will soon pay in YER
mont, if it does not elsewhere. Do this
and commissioners of emigration will seek
other ways for employment and governors
will be relieved from opportunities to con-
vert this Office into bureau of cause and
effect to teach the farmers why farming in
Vermont don't pay. The increase in the
number of farms in Vermont from 1870 to
1880 was ,773, and yet we are constantly
publishing to the world that farms in YER
mont are running down and growing less.

Higgins as the Goat.

1t is now definitely announced that Hig-
gins will retire on the LIST of January.
This means that Higgins has sacrificed him
self and volunteered to play the goat The
story is told that preacher was once de-
scribing TO his congregation the terrors of
the judgment day, when the sheep should be
parted from the goats. " Who will dare"
he cried TO stand among the goats upon
that awful day." The question was re-
peated and the speaker paused, as If for
reply. There was a supplemented sea-
faring man in the gallery, who quietly arose
and said ! never takes dare, and if the
fun can't 60 without it I'll be the goat"
This is the noble attitude Of Mr.. Higgins.
A goat is absolutely necessary to the demo-
cratic party just at this crisis. The pres-
dental election is coming on fast Mr..
Cleveland's record upon the reform Of the
civil service has been so rddled by the re-
formers themselves that he must do some
thing to make favorable impression upon
the country. If he could find some con-
spicuously unfit man to drive from office, or
If he could revoke some appointment Of his
own that has been much criticised, after
having got all the political benefit from IL
there was to be had, he would be in a far
more impressive attitude. 1t had become
absolutely necessary to separate the sheep
from the goats, and the difficulty was to find
some one who would play the goat. The
democratic office-holders all preferred to
play sheep and keep on browsing. At this
critical juncture Higgins unselfishly came
forward. He will accordingly be banished
into the outer darkness of private life,
whore there will be apparently weeping
and crashing of teeth, but as the goat goes
the initiated will perceive a suspicious
twinkle in his left eye.-Tribune.

The Unhappy II. V.

We are forced to conclude, from the
character of some of the editorial mat
ter in the last issue of the Rural Yer
monter, that it is in an unhappy and
desperate situation. Its abiect appeals
for public support, its malicious mis-
representations of the editor of the
WATCHMAN, its stupid and irrational
attacks upon public men and corpora
tons, its magnfying of mole-hills of
discomfort into mountains of griev-
ances and its contemplate prodding of
the farmers because the great majority
of them take no stock in its hobby
riding-all indicate that the conductors
of that bucolic sheet are in state of
mind that can better be imagined than
described.
We can well understand that it is
not a pleasant reflection for the man
ayers of the II. v that their high
sounding pretensions are so generally
discredited and repudiated; nor can
they find much comfort in the fact that
the subscription list of the WATCH
MAN is constantly growing, and that
this increase comes mainly from farm
ers who know a good thing when they
see it. But this is easily explained.
Those farmers who are earnest repub-
licans want reliable republican local
